Newspaper Boy

This is either a “Radio Ga Ga”-esque plea for the continual relevance of newspaper, a treatise on the futility of obsolete media attempting to survive in the modern world, a statement about how pathetic it is to try to cater to trends you don’t understand, or just a stupid joke that made me giggly late at night when I was staring at this piece trying to figure out how best to exploit this paperboy’s eager smile for comedy purposes. Whichever works for you, dammit.

Hi! Busy as crap lately, getting over yet another stupid cold, and very sorry for the recent missed weeks. Hope you’re all having a glorious time doing whatever glorious things you do gloriously!

For those of you in the Rochester area who like interesting jewelry, my lovely wife will be plying her wares at the Lilac Festival this weekend! Find the Manic Metals tent in the “Art In Bloom” area and get you some shiny things!

I’m against it. The stone tablet is clearly impractical, and an endangered, non-renewable resource. There is only so much stone, and when it is gone, it is gone. Why, I already believe that there is a lot of news that the press just hasn’t the stones to publish.

@Coldfusion — [Sorry I’m late…] You gotta play “Bully” by Rockstar; the newspaper delivery sub-game works great, and the way the newspapers slam the mailboxes into wavering back and forth dropping letters is viscerally satisfying.
